About this work

This print shows a woman standing in a field. She’s wearing a long dark coat with a fur collar and a hat pulled low over her face. Her hands are tucked into her pockets, and her head is slightly tilted down. In the background, a small figure kneels on the ground, but it’s hard to make out what they’re doing. The artist used loose, sketchy lines that make the scene feel dreamy and unfinished. The dark ink contrasts sharply with the light paper, giving the whole image a moody, almost ghostly look. Next, check out drypoint to see how this technique works.
